Definitions
- the invention relates to a base plate fastening for a control cabinet, with at least one on a contact flange of a base frame of the control cabinet
- the bottom plate is placed with its edge and is clamped to it by means of at least one clamp, the clamps having two mutually parallel legs which are held at a connecting section, the first leg engaging behind the contact flange of the base frame and the other leg holding a screw in a thread against the
- the base frame of the control cabinet is made up of four profile sections.
- the profile sections are essentially U-shaped, two vertically projecting profile sides being connected to a horizontal support section.
- the profile sides are folded at their edges. This creates a horizontal contact flange on the internal section of the profile, on which floor panels can be placed flat.
- the edges of the floor panels can be connected to the system flange using clamps.
- the clamps are designed as U-shaped components with two parallel legs
- the edge and the contact flange are located between the two legs.
- One of the two legs carries a screw, by means of which the base plate can be clamped to the contact flange on the second leg
- This object is achieved in that the first leg is supported on the contact flange by means of cutting and / or tip contacting elements, and in that the screw is in electrically conductive contact with the edge of the base plate.
- the cutting edges and / or tips dig into the contact flange when the clamping clamp is clamped.
- a layer of lacquer applied to the contact flange can be pierced, so that a reliable electrical contact between the clamping clip and the contact flange is created.
- the electrically conductive connection to the floor panel is established via the screw. When screwed in, this comes into intimate contact with the floor panel. As a result of tightening the screw, the screw rubs over the top of the base plate and is therefore able to make a reliable electrical contact
- At least two tongues are formed from the first leg Contacting elements are punched out and bent in the direction of the contact flange, and that the tongues are cut off at the ends transversely to their longitudinal axis, so that cutting edges are formed.
- the connecting section has stiffening ribs that are perpendicular to the legs, then a stiffening of the tensioning clamp is achieved. In particular, this prevents the connecting section from bending when the screw is tightened.
- stiffening ribs extend beyond the edge regions formed between the connecting section. This simple measure prevents the legs when tightening the
- Clamp can be bent. With such a rigid clamping clamp, high clamping forces can be transmitted to the base plate and the contact flange.
- Clamp is made U-shaped from a stamped and bent part, and that the leg facing the base plate is provided with a bead-like thickening, in which the thread holder for the screw is incorporated. This allows the clamp to be made from a relatively thin sheet material. A sufficient thread length is ensured by means of the thickening.
- the screw can be provided with projections on the end face. These dig into the surface of the floor panel when the screw is tightened.
- Fig. 1 is a clamp with a screw in side view
- Fig. 2 shows the clamp of Figure 1 in perspective
- a clamp 10 is shown, which is formed essentially U-shaped from a connecting section 1 3 and two connected to each other, parallel legs 1 1, 1 2.
- the upper leg 1 1 is provided with a bead-like thickening 1 5. This thickening 1 5 is penetrated by a thread.
- the thread axis is perpendicular to the leg 1 1.
- a screw 17 can be screwed into the thread receptacle.
- the lower leg 1 2 has three contacting elements 1 6.
- the arrangement of the contacting elements 1 6 can be found in detail in FIG. 2. From this illustration it can be seen that the contacting elements are punched out tongue-like out of the leg 1 2. The ends of the contacting elements are cut off obliquely to their longitudinal direction, so that triangular tips result. The contacting elements 1 6 are bent in the area of their tips towards the upper leg 11. Here, sharp-edged cutting edges of the contacting elements 16 protrude into the receiving space surrounded by the clamping clip 10.
- the clamping clip 10 has three contacting elements 1 6. The middle con- The clocking element is in alignment with the central longitudinal axis of the screw 1 7.
- stiffening ribs 14 are used to reinforce the clamp 1 0 stiffening ribs 14 .
- the stiffening ribs 14 run perpendicular to the legs 1 1, 1 2 over the entire height of the connecting section 1 3. Following the connecting section 1 3, the ribs are over the edge region that results between the connecting section and the legs 1 1, 1 2 , guided and extend partially over the legs 1 1, 1 2.
- the stiffening ribs 14 are formed as expressions which are pressed out of the material of the clamping clip 10.
- FIG. 3 shows an application example of the tension clamp 10 according to the invention.
- a floor frame 20 is shown, which has a horizontal support section 21.
- Two profile sides 22, 23 are bent at right angles from the support section 21.
- a contact flange 24 is bent from the inner profile side 23.
- a bottom plate 25 can be placed on this with its edge.
- the base plate 25 can be clamped to the contact flange 24 by means of a plurality of clamps 10.
- the U-shaped clamp is mounted so that the edge of the bottom plate 25 and the contact flange 24 comes to rest between the two legs 1 1, 1 2.
- the screw 1 7 is tightened, the base plate and the contact flange are pressed against the contacting elements 1 6 (see dashed illustration of FIG.
- Screw 1 7 As a result of the introduction of a clamping force into the screw 1 7, the contacting elements 1 6 dig into the underside of the contact section 24 with their cutting edges. This creates an electrically conductive connection between the clamping bracket 10 and the floor frame 20. At the same time, the screw 1 7 is also on the electrically conductive upper side of the base plate 25. set so that an electrically conductive connection is also created here. The base plate 25 and the base frame 20 can thus be placed at the same electrical potential.
